Morning all
Today's list done.
I've also done all the bedrooms (I'll claim for them when the time comes round) and I've got two loads of washing out in the sunshine, including my bedding.
Some bits done for the decluttering thread, so I'll head over there next.
I know I've got ahead of myself but if I don't do stuff when I'm in the right mood it's hard to get motivated.
Hope everyone's OK. Happy Birthdays to anyone who qualifies;)
